It was always the same few lines; it wouldn't be interesting if the main character didn't show up. So the people waiting to see the show dispersed, and some even went back with a bowl.

"I never expected Sun Lifang to be this kind of person, Auntie. Have you called your son yet?" She took a couple of bites of rice and muttered, "Her way of dressing always seems unusual to me."

This statement drew many echoes of agreement.

"Yeah, she's a mom and she still wears skirts every day."

"Who knows? Maybe he's up to something else... Hahahaha." The busybody said sarcastically, as if implying something.

Several women huddled together and burst into loud laughter.

"Does this kind of person even deserve to be a mother? Always dressed up and flaunting herself. Let me tell you something else. Her daughter was supposed to start elementary school this year, and she even hired a tutor. But then even the tutor stopped coming, and the child stopped going to school. Can you guess what happened?"

She's willing to spend money on dressing herself up, but unwilling to spend money on her granddaughter's tutoring?

Thinking back to her son's phone call, Chen Yan was furious. She took a brick from a flowerpot and handed it to Zhou Jiabao, saying, "Smash it! Let's see if she still doesn't come out!"

"Huh?" Zhou Jiabao was taken aback. "Isn't this a bad idea? What if my older brother comes back..."

He was terrified of his elder brother, swallowed hard, and quickly waved his hand in refusal, saying, "No, no."

Just kidding, he relies on his older brother for food, drink, and shelter these days. Who would come to someone's door asking for a favor and then smash down the door?

Unable to get her son to move, Chen Yan kicked the door, yelling, "Sun Lifang, I've spoiled you so much you're completely out of your mind! You wait, I'll make sure you get out of this house!"

Her heart aches whenever she thinks about the reduced child support payments.

How many games of mahjong could that cover? And every month she has to treat her girlfriends to dinner, attend parties, go out, and order custom-made clothes... Everything was fine before, so who's to blame?

"Why am I so unlucky? At my age, I still get bullied by my daughter-in-law..." Chen Yan sighed repeatedly, her emotions rising as she cursed, gritting her teeth as she said, "If my son hadn't married her, she would have been sold by her parents long ago. She deserves it! She should have been sold to an abusive man and beaten badly! She looks like she deserves to be taught a lesson!"

She doesn't deserve a good life!

Why can't she spend the money her son earns? Yet Sun Lifang dresses up so extravagantly.

Pulling off the crystal hair clip from her hair, her newly styled hair from two days ago was now scattered all over her face. Consumed by rage, Chen Yan had lost her temper and continued to berate—

"Sun Lifang, if you don't come out, I'll wait for you at the door. Let's see who can outlast whom."

"You married into my family empty-handed, and you still have the nerve to freeload? My son doesn't even have a word to say you're shameless, thicker than this door."

"This divorce is final!"

"Mom, there's no need for that, and besides, my older brother doesn't listen to you anyway," Zhou Jiabao suddenly said.

Jiang Meimei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chen Yan glared angrily at Jiang Meimei, "I'll deal with you too later!"

"Oh." Jiang Meimei shrugged, saying indifferently, "The boss and his wife have a very good relationship."

Seeing the woman's contorted expression, she deliberately said, "The boss always goes home no matter how late he is, and he brings his wife spiced pig's trotters. I'm so envious."

I see spiced pig's trotters every day at work, and the boss forbids me from saying anything.

Jiang Meimei could only silently accept Sun Lifang's gratitude.

The boss truly loves his wife!

It's so sweet to give silently!

He's a loyal dog!

Jiang Meimei turned around and saw Zhou Yunshi and Li Zhi standing behind her.
